    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, however, there are a few things that we learnt that if our Legislature could also emulate, then we will perfect the presidential system. Where is the relationship between the Leader of Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party? In Massachusetts, for example, the democrats are the majority and the Republicans are the minority. But in Florida, the Republicans are the majority while the Democrats are the minority. But in those two states, nobody applies the “tyranny of numbers”. There are serious and structured consultations between the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party. They often meet. The whips call themselves in caucuses and by the time they are before the Speaker, almost everything which needed to have been done has been hammered. In that case, they give legislators a very easy time to be able to debate issues out of their own conscience and without necessarily following the party whims."
